Hi there
Sorry to be annoying you all, but my washing machine started to trip the RCD this evening. It's the first time it has happened. What do you think is causing it and how can I fix it? Is it a DIY job, or do I did to get the A-Team in - i.e. the professionals?

Thanks in advance.
 
Could be an internal electrical fault - maybe some of the wiring has got damp from an internal leak or some of the wiring might be touching of each other - certainly not a diy job. Have you checked the filters and water storage bottle ?
What age is the machine - get a call out price form Hotpoint and compare to other local repair guys - probably around €80 minimum call out charge. Is the machine under warranty ?
Some parts can be bought online and fitted yourself but anything electrical I would call in the experts !
 
Hi All

Thanks for the advice - not what I wanted to hear!! So off I go to find an appliance man.
